Only good as a stepping stone

Pros

Somewhat stable, have an option work from home when you "need" to, and receive e-mails every month about a new acquired company

Cons

Things have changed. You have to work insane hours to move up and they expect you to do extra work just to get an average rating. The raises have been a joke if you even get it. This company is good as a stepping stone.

Pros

Work culture, Freedom, flexible work schedule. The company makes excellent products and provides good services. There is a lot of focus on innovation.

Cons

The evaluation and appraisal system is not great and there's a lot of politics involved in the management. The HR processes are not very friendly and there's constant fear of getting fired.
